High-resolution cameras on Europe's Rosetta spacecraft have found space probe Philae, which successfully landed on a comet in a pinpoint operation only to lose power because its solar-driven batteries were in the shade. The European Space Agency (ESA) said on September 5, 2016 that images taken by the orbiter from a distance of 2.7 kilometers showed the lander's characteristic 1 meter-sized body and its legs wedged into a dark crack on Comet 67P.Philae went missing after completing a soft-landing on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in November 2014.(Photo/Agencies)
